Problem Child Page #4

They are not stupid!

Hello!

Think of it this way. All those mothers

had to make do with what nature gave them.

You and I get to pick out our kid.

It'll be like shopping.

- Shopping?

- Uh-huh.

But the neighbours will know we've adopted.

What'll they say?

The neighbours? They'll say, "Look!"

"There's Ben and Flo Healy going out to

yet another birthday party with their new son!"

"Isn't he adorable?"

"And look at how fantastic Flo looks

in her new dress!"

"Where did she get a bag

to match those shoes?"

Then they'll say,

"Let's invite that Healy family over for dinner. "

Oh, Ben, dinners!

OK, let's get a kid.

Hurry up, students.

Five more minutes for your pen-pals.

Then we have to work on our times tables.

Dear Queen Elizabeth, how is England?

It must be nice to be a queen.

Dear Bishop Tutu, how are you?

I am fine. I hope everything's going

well with your marching.

Dear Bow Tie Killer, how's prison?

There's a nice picture of you on the front

page that I'm gonna add to my collection.

Even though we've never met, I feel we have

a lot in common. Nobody understands us.

I'm still wearing a bow tie

so I can look just like you.

After all these letters, I've got good news.

I'm getting out. Isn't that great?

Your number one fan, Junior.

Smoke.

Sir.

Sir, sorry to disturb you

but this letter came for you.

Read this to me.

Hey, it's a letter from JR.

Yeah? Someday

we're gonna meet up on the outside.

We're gonna do some serious damage.

"Good news, I'm getting out. "

What? He's getting paroled?

They gotta be out of their minds!

You know that guy?

He's crazier than I am.

Chill. The warden!

Well, well! If it isn't our model prisoner,

looking so pretty today in his little bow tie!

Hey, warden! Catch!

I hope I'm not rushing you.

We can always let nature take its course.

Nature screwed us over.

Let's give commerce a try.

Let's see what I can do. You want a kid

you could love, I'll put you on the waiting list.

You should have a kid in seven years.

- Seven years?

- Unless...

Nah, nah, I didn't say a word.

I did not say a word.

No, what? What were you gonna say?

Well, I really put my foot in my mouth this time

but, I don't know, I like you two.

I like the two of you and when I like

two people, I want to help them out.

That's just my nature.

I want to help out people that I like.

Just this morning

I came upon a seven-year-old.

Smart as a tack, a little rambunctious

but weren't we all at that age?

I think I even have a photo here for you.

He does look presentable in that bow tie.

Adorable!

I don't know. Seven is rather old. I wanted

people to think I had the baby myself.

That's understandable. A lot of women
